Looks nice!

My first third - gen was an '85 bird, with those wheels and that spoiler. My opinion, that's the best 3rd - gen spoiler of 'em all!

Nice vehicle for the upgrades that you mention, good luck with it!

I concur. Though the stripes above the gfx are looking a little bad, it could use a touch-up or repaint.
*edit - tint is good... as long as its good tint. not the film stock-type **** that peels... like on my car

I'd add a RA 1 hood, 4th gen style wing, and some new rims, definetly make it as appealing appearance wise as the drivetrain.
